049 We now need 24 Sherlock Holmes

Readers may please recollect that at my blogpost No. #038 here, I wrote that we need a dozen Sherlock Holmes to investigate into the affairs at Puttaparthi. Now, some snakes have come out of the molehills at penugonDa, the seat of Late kALESwar's dwelling (I cannot call it hermitage, because hermitages are supposed to be in thatched huts and not in mansions and palaces). While the brother's wife of Late kALEshwar said that there were suspicious circumstances in his death, kALEshwar's father said that he didn't find any suspicious circumstances in his son's death. The Officials of the Government of Andhra Pradesh claimed that they were acting as per the instructions of their superiors. We do not know what the instructions of their superiors were. Since top politicians and officials have attended the funeral of Late kALEShwar, we can presume that the Trust Officials of kALEShwar's Ashram might, definitely have approached them for help.

The Chairman of the Trust, reported to be one Shri nAgi Reddy, had promised to explain everything after 10 days.

Won't we need another dozen Sherlock Holmes to investigate this scam, as: if Scotland Yard in England can fail in London, how can the police of Andhra Pradesh lag behind?

Maha News, a TELUGU TV channel broadcast a panel discussion on why 'guruvAra ganDam for gurus' (Why do Godmen die on Thursdays?). There are some predictions that more Gurus are going to die on Thursdays.

Actually, the concept of a seven day week itself is an abstract concept. There can even be six days or eight days in a week, because the term "week" has no astronomical significance. The number of days in a solar year approx. 365 1/4 has some astronomical link with the time taken for earth to revolve around Sun. No such astronomical value for the unit-- week. The European astronomy recognising a seven day week and the Indian astronomy recognising the same seven day week, linking the name of each day to the name of a planet, seems to be an import from Assyrian/Babylonian/Mesopotamian/Sumerian civilisation of Iraq. The names of week-days cannot, therefore, have any influence on the birth, existence and death of individuals whether they are ordinary humans or self-proclaimed Gods. We should not, therefore, read much into the coincidence of death of Sathya Sai Baba and kALEShwar on Thursdays. A lady panel speaker on the TV discussion even went to say that Indian Gurus have something to do with the planet Guru (brihaspati or Jupiter).


The foreigner (western) devotees at kALEShwar's Ashram might have been in a state of bewilderment if not in panic, because their guru who was supposed to be a person omni-potent to ward off evil forces, himself had fallen flat at an young age of 39.
